Battery disposal
Information on the disposal of old batteries
The following notice is intended for those who use batteries or products with built-in batteries and no longer resell them in the form in which they were delivered (end users):
1. Free return of used batteries
Batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. You are legally obliged to return used batteries to ensure proper disposal. You can dispose of them at a municipal collection point or at a local retailer. As a battery distributor, we are also obligated to take back used batteries. However, our obligation to take back is limited to used batteries of the type that we carry or have carried as new batteries in our product range. You can therefore either return used batteries of the aforementioned type to us with sufficient postage or hand them in free of charge at our shipping warehouse at the address listed in the imprint.
2. Meaning of the battery symbols
Batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out wheeled bin (see below). This symbol indicates that batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. For batteries containing more than 0.0005 percent mercury by mass, more than 0.002 percent cadmium by mass, or more than 0.004 percent lead by mass, the chemical name of the pollutant used is located below the wheeled bin symbol – where "Cd" stands for cadmium, "Pb" for lead, and "Hg" for mercury.

Description
Carl Zeiss Q1 Tessar 8 Blades Automatic 50mm f/2.8 Lens (M42)
Condition and Limitations
Condition: good used condition.
Slight signs of wear on the body are possible (for example, small scratches or scuffs).
Tessar Standard Lens with Manual Focus
The Tessar 50/2.8 is a fixed standard focal length for your M42 equipment. It is suitable for a deliberate working method with clearly separated decisions: choose the location and framing, set the distance, and then determine the aperture to suit the light and desired depth of field. The M42 mount offered here is distinct from the Exakta versions that also exist.
Focus Wide Open, Stop Down for Exposure
With the automatic diaphragm, the working aperture is preselected on the lens. The appropriate M42 camera mechanically actuates the diaphragm pin so that the aperture closes for metering or exposure. This allows the viewfinder to remain open and bright when setting the focus. On an adapted camera, the adapter solution must take this process into account; a simple thread ring does not replace the actuation of the pin.
Close-Up Range and Filter Thread
The contemporary manufacturer's catalog lists a minimum focusing distance of 0.35 m and a 49 mm filter thread for this design. The distance is measured from the camera's image plane; it is not a free distance in front of the front lens. For small subjects, therefore, the achievable framing is also important in addition to the distance. Such a close-up range does not automatically guarantee life-size reproduction.
Purposefully Categorize M42 in Your Equipment
The documented mount is the M42 screw system. This distinguishes this mount from Praktica-B bayonet lenses and from lenses of the same name with an Exakta mount. For a mirrorless camera, a suitable adapter can enable use with manual focus and a working aperture. The lens mount is the deciding factor; the inscription Praktica, Zeiss, or Pentacon alone does not determine a different mount.
